it's time for stick stoppers...

Postby rangertom » Mon Jan 30, 2006 6:40 am

While installing my new Jamhard radiator guard this past weekend, I noticed some pretty good damage to my front left side a-arm guard (stock plastic guard). Something pretty tough impacted it at some point recently and cracked the hell out of it, pushing the innermost screw and bracket to the rear about a 1/2 inch. Now that I've broken it a bit...I can justify the need to the wifey.

The rad guard install went well. I would like to caution those who consider not reinstalling the stock rad guard to do so though. After the install of the new guard...there was still a good gaping hole allowing the rogue stick to be shoved right through the radiator...and those are expensive. So...the stock guard went back on.

I saw that radiator guard and liked the idea. Are you going to install more armour?

Oh yeah! Skid plate is on it's way, and then floorboard guards are next...followed by stick stoppers, front and rear.

The installation and fit of the stick stoppers...perhaps your opinion if it is worth the dollars after the install.

Ah...gotcha! I'll probably get those in about 2 weeks. They look pretty good, and cost 1/2 as much as the proarmor ones, so they'll be the ones I'll get. You got it dp...I'll post results when I get them on...
